CCE San Francisco Singing Session Song Sheets page 1 All for me Grog Chorus: Well its all for me grog, me jolly jolly grog It’s all for me beer and tobacco For I’ve spent all me tin on the lassies drinking gin Far across the Western Ocean I must wander. Where are me boots, me noggin‟, noggin‟ boots They‟re all gone for beer and tobacco For the heels are worm out and the toes are kicked about And the soles are looking out for better weather. Chorus Where is me shirt, me noggin‟, noggin‟ shirt It‟s all gone for beer and tobacco For the collar is worn out, and the sleeves they are all torn And the tail is looking out for better weather. Chorus I‟m sick in the head and I haven‟t been to bed Since first I came ashore from me slumber For I spent all me dough on the lassies don‟t you know Far across the Western Ocean I must wander. Chorus Optional verse: Where is me goat, me noggin’, noggin’ goat? It’s all gone for stew and lasagna For the hooves are torn out and the brains are spread about And the kids are looking out for better weather. White book, page 57 CCE San Francisco Singing Session Song Sheets page 2 Bedlam Boys / Tom of Bedlam For to see Mad Tom of Bedlam I know more than Apollo, By a knight of ghosts and shadows Ten thousand miles I traveled For oft when he lies sleeping I summoned am to tourney Mad Maudlin goes on dirty toes I see the stars at mortal wars Ten leagues beyond the wide world's end- To save her shoes from gravel. In the wounded welkin weeping. Methinks it is no journey. Chorus: The moon embrace her shepherd, The palsy plagues my pulses Still I sing bonny boys, bonny mad boys And the queen of love her warrior, When I prig your pigs or pullen Bedlam boys are bonny While the first doth horn the star of morn, Your culvers take, or matchless make For they all go bare and they live by the air And the next the heavenly farrier. Your Chanticleer or sullen. And they want no drink nor money. Of thirty years have I When I want provant, with Humphrey I went down to Satan's kitchen Twice twenty been enrage-ed I sup, an when benighted To break my fast one morning And of forty been three times fifteen I repose in Paul's with waking souls, And there I got souls piping hot In durance soundly cage-ed Yet never am affrighted. All on the spit a-turning. On the lordly lofts of Bedlam The Gipsy Snap an Pedro There I took a cauldron With stubble soft and dainty, Are none of Tom's comradoes, Where boiled ten thousand harlots Brave bracelets strong, sweet whips, ding-dong,The punk I scorn, and the cutpurse sworn Though full of flame I drank the same With wholesome hunger plenty. And the roaring boy's bravadoes. To the health of all such varlets. When I short have shorn my sour-face The meek, the white, the gentle, My staff has murdered giants And swigged my horny barrel Me handle not nor spare not; My bag a long knife carries In an oaken inn, I pound my skin But those that cross Tom Rhinoceros To cut mince pies from children's thighs As a suit of gilt apparel. Do what the panther dare not For which to feed the fairies. The moon's my constant mistress, That of your five sound senses No gypsy, slut or doxy And the lonely owl my marrow; You never be forsaken, Shall win my mad Tom from me The flaming drake and the night crow make Nor wander from your selves with Tom I'll weep all night, with stars I'll fight Me music to my sorrow. Abroad to beg your bacon. The fray shall well become me. The spirits white as lightening I now repent that ever From the hag and hungry goblin Would on my travels guide me Poor Tom was so disdain-ed That into rags would rend ye, The stars would shake and the moon would My wits are lost since him I crossed All the sprites that stand by the naked man quake Which makes me thus go chained In the book of moons, defend ye. Whenever they espied me. So drink to Tom of Bedlam With a thought I took for Maudlin, And then that I'll be murdering Go fill the seas in barrels And a cruse of cockle pottage, The Man in the Moon to the powder I'll drink it all, well brewed with gall With a thing thus tall, Sky bless you all, His staff I'll break, his dog I'll shake And maudlin drunk I'll quarrel I befell into this dotage. And there'll howl no demon louder. I slept not since the Conquest, With a host of furious fancies, Till then I never waked, Whereof I am commander, Till the naked boy of love where I lay With a burning spear and a horse of air Me found and stripped me naked. To the wilderness I wander. CCE San Francisco Singing Session Song Sheets page 3 Black is the Colour Black is the colour of my true love's hair Her lips are like some roses fair She's the sweetest smile and the gentlest hands. I love the ground whereon she stands I love my love and well she knows I love the grass whereon she goes. But I know the day it never will come when she and I will be as one.
